Probably some of the recent changes broke it. I don't have time to debug, but the symptom is that with daemon = true and pyqt absent in the system, upon launch it will complain that pyqt is missing and refuse to start. When run with -d, it's fine. Latest v0.6. It worked correctly in the past.

I saw reports about this in the chan, but I thought they don't know how to use it because it wasn't described very well. I had to run a daemon on one of my systems, and turned out that after doing a pull, it broke. Now I think that they were describing the problems I encountered.

Oh, it was a problem with my portage. I had actually PyQt4 installed (:
problem source - it should be below, under if daemon:
